3 late goals lifts Cones to 6-5 win.

It was 5-3 Banana Splits with about six minutes to play. That's when the collapse began.

When asked if Mike Saia played for the gold team on Friday, Paul Albano replied, "He sure did !"

The scoresheet resembled OJ Simpson's yellow note pad, but safe to say the newest Banana Russell Steeves had a pair of goals, but left the game with an undisclosed injury.

"I feel as though we have things under control, so I'm gonna sit out the last part of the game as a precaution," said Steeves.

He couldn't have been more wrong.

The Snow Cones unleashed the Osbahr Offense covered with Jimmy Dees.

Osbahr and DiGregoro each scored two goals down the stretch as the red team tied the game then surpassed the 'Nanas with just a minute left to play.

"Don't blame me," said Saia. "The guys had me resting the last five minutes of the game so I'd be ready for OT."

Sadly for Saia, not only did OT come, but he was lied to.

"Guys like Woody and Albano were too busy counting their points before we secured the W," said Mike Uretsky. "With or without Saia, this is going to be a long season."
